Lyrics
Little Rosa was gentle and easily bruised
Cared for others too much, she was easily used
But they told her off whenever she cried
They said she should grow a much thicker hide
And bit by bit the tendrils will twine
They interlock and round they'll wind
Oh bit by bit the tendrils twine
And brambles grow thick around the heart
Well as she grew older she became more forlorn
Each rejection she had would prick her like a thorn
So she built her walls high, she dug her moats deep
And she put her hurt heart to a long, safe sleep
And bit by bit the tendrils will twine
They interlock and round they'll wind
Oh bit by bit the tendrils twine
And brambles grow thick around the heart
Well Rosa was clever and Rosa was smart
So she worked very hard, she perfected her art
And her life wasn't bad, no in fact it was good
But sometimes she still felt so misunderstood
For bit by bit the tendrils will twine
They interlock and round they'll wind
Oh bit by bit the tendrils twine
And brambles grow thick around the heart
So when good men came she would push them away
She was scared they would leave but more scared they would stay
Until many years late from far away came
A man who very much wasn't the same
It took the kindest of hearts to unravel the tangle
And patience and time to fight through the bramble
She'd been everyone's friend, but nobody's love
'Til the man came along who fit just like a glove
Then bit by bit those tendrils untwined
They loosened up and then they unwound
Oh bit by bit the tendrils untwined
And the brambles drew back from her heart
